This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her.
"I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this.
"You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially.
With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media.
It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame.
I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships.
It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
**I actually wrote this song about CT it iknda sucks.. gotta revise***

Lets pertray this story lost in time
Lets amend these chapters like they were part of yesterday
Maybe in a couple years you will see the light of things
Maybe in a couple tears you will lose alot of things
There have been so many ages without a goal which is forseen
Somedays i wonder if this was meant to be
But only 10 years go by before you think of me
Lets call it a rough draft and see what becomes of these
ROTTEN MEMORIES
-------------------
This is our chapter in this epic of time. This is the dream that they all want to rewind. Such a magnificence it would be to go back. Buts is a burden to push on. Remember the times we would bind? I try to forget what we left behind.The Anatomy of days lost . So many roads have i crossed. The days are now parabol. If only one could change our history, you would remember what fragment of a souli had left in me....
------------------
The end result results in such disaster.
I wish i could spend these days with you
Im always lost and confused
With this new shell around me
Such a chance will i get to return?
So many days have i cried fora result that is harmony
So many broken dreams
I never said my last words
The is the rip of the seam in this fabric of forsaken redeems.....

------------------
Lets close this tome with a tear and a thought to make the others wish for hope
Lets conclude these closing chapters with a lust for the lost
So many times have i wished for this moment...
The obitous feeling i had in the world in which i clung
Right before the water hit your lungs
Such bad news...ill see you soon....
A letter to be lost in the sands of time...
This is the dream they all want to rewind....

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."

Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
